IMO you're not "giving up" SoC, you're gaining it: The "manager<-->A<-->B<-->C<-->D<-->customer model" keeps the business logic inherent to each object's duties within each object. The other model, in which the manager sticks his fingers in various parts of the process in every object, is what I consider to break encapsulation. > I give > up reusability, Not necessarily--going back to the bakery example (where reusability = hirability externally), Employee A fully knows how to buy the bread, B knows how to make the dough, C knows how to cook it, etc. They are all very smart, self-contained objects. In the other model, by taking business logic out of the objects and into the manager the A, B, C, D become more dependent on that specific manager, and less hirable without him/her. > simplicity, > and the ability to divide-and-conquer. For these two, indeed all of them, one can probably argue either way. Let's agree to disagree. Glen __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
